About Headway


Headway is building a new mental healthcare system, rewired for access and affordability. 


We all know someone that has struggled with mental health - 1 in 4 people have a treatable mental health condition - but the overwhelming majority don’t get the care they need. The primary reason is cost - seventy percent of therapists don’t accept insurance, meaning paying for therapy is usually very, very expensive. 


Headway is building the first national, virtual network of therapists who accept insurance, helping providers to expand their practices, and individuals to finally find a therapist they can afford. And we’re doing it all through software. 


We launched in April of 2019 and are already powering thousands of therapy appointments every single day. To scale our mission, we’ve raised funding from the world’s preeminent VCs (backers of Facebook, LinkedIn, Slack, Uber, Oscar) as well as the nation’s most innovative healthcare entrepreneurs (founders of One Medical, Flatiron Health, and Clover Health). 


We believe a team's strength is in its people. Headway is solving a national problem of affordability, and we know this cannot be achieved without a team that reflects the diversity of this problem - across race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and experience. 


Join us, and make an impact.

  • Push code, own architectural decisions for an engineering team deploying daily across consumer-facing, therapist-facing, and internal-facing platforms. Our front-end is written in React.

  • Work alongside the co-founders to help set the development roadmap and bring to market novel technology solutions to America’s mental health epidemic

An Insider's view of Headway

What's something quirky about your company?

We're turning the unglamorous health insurance industry into an exciting one. This team is extremely talented and passionate, striving to change the status quo and do good, all while having tons of fun. We found a winning formula at Headway: the smartest people + a familial vibe + a beautiful mission!

Niki

Business Operations

How do you collaborate with other teams in the company?

I'm working on a project with our Growth and Operations teams, and it's been refreshing to hear each team's priorities/concerns when it comes to the product. It's important for engineers to understand how the things they build affect larger systems! So I really value working with teammates who speak to patients and healthcare providers every day.

April

Software Engineer

What makes someone successful on your team?

Headway is extremely driven by our cultural principles, one being: 'Act like a Headway owner before a functional owner.' Success at Headway means prioritizing the success of our mission and acting selflessly to contribute to Headway’s goals.

What projects are you most excited about?

As our company has grown and evolved, so have the ways in which we need to protect the sensitive data that flows through our applications. I’ve recently moved to our Privacy Platforms team to help lead the charge around a revised Authentication and Authorization framework to both meet the needs of our users today and be extensible enough to satisfy
